flip flops would be ok if they don't have black bottoms but that's about it.

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

I have to say no shoes because you never know when that one IDIOT comes walking across your boat.. But I wear shoes on my boat for sure footing on the deck. NEVER on the seats

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

No Shoes!

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

only 6 inch spike heels with 2 layers of duct tape on the soles/heels, crotchless panties, push up bra. all three of these items or no shoes...

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

Still No!!! :D

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

Funny how some people look at ya when all rafted up 10 deep, and you have to ask them to remove their shoes. Don't you think it is just polite to automatically take 'em off when we all have nice rides????

pisses me off :mad:

Then there was another group, all same manufactors rafted up and the first boat on the seawall, owner has his DECK SHOES on and jumping across all the bows, some with graphics painted on top. What a MORON.

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

no shoes ever, clothes are optional, smoke em if you got em only glass allowed is large liquor bottles 1.75ml :drink:

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

no shoes :D

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

We've gotten orders for our BoardngMats with that logo embroidered on it a lot lately.

I've got the diamond stuff in the fiberglass floor on my boat and it really tears up the feet. Gotta wear boat shoes.

My biggest complaint isn't guest--it's marina staff--dock hands and mechanics are the worst offenders in the industry,

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

Ditto!!

Back when we were racing, it was nice to have a good pair of athletic shoes on while running the boat hard. It was wierd at first, but now when I know we'll be going on a long run or if its really rough, I'll put my shoes back on.

True be told though, I'd rather everyone else leave their's off. Because they always forget and step on a seat. :eek:

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

Thats what I do....Damn feet hurt without padding from shoes !..Must be an age thing ! :D

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

No, it's a running hard thing! :cool: :D

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

Yea.....Thats It !! :D

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

No shoes, it ages the boat to quickly (it is WHITE vinyl!!). mechanics are the worst offendors, those guys always mess my interior up with their greasy shoes

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

I myself dont mind white DECK shoes.No hard soles, I have carpet and when dockside or or rafted I have towels on the seats and across the vineal on the hatches. I try to get to the docks at the poker runs first so I can tie up next to the dock, then I dont have to go across any ones boat.. By the way, I have a five year old cat and try and find a scratch on the jelcoat or a smuge on the vineal ! Then I do polish a lot plus maybe I have a lot of considerate boaters that cross my boat or ride in it!! I bought my boat for enjoyment not rules. I also have a few nice cars and you dont have to take your shoes off to ride in them either! Sorry, just my feelings..

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

No Shoes, rock and other stuff get caught in the soles and then scratch the boat when they step on, even boat shoes....I tell my guest shoes or underware your choice(ladies only of course) Guys no shoes period...

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

No shoes!!! Ever. Who want s to wear them anyway? I like bare feet, they are more comfortable.

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

The only person allowed to wear shoes on our boat is my 76 year old mother. We use 2 boarding mats for her and she hops right in! She does pretty well for her age. Everyone else...no shoes, ever.

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

No shoes. You don't stand in the seat of your truck or car do you? I don't even allow shoes in the house. Guess I'm Chineese or somfrin??

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

Always been my thought...I wouldnt walk on your couch or on the hood of your car..Why would it be OK for me to do it on your boat ?

SO WHAT PART OF THAT DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND???? :eek:

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

does that mean yes? Like when the gals say no means yes

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

I will always take my shoes off going in someone else boat,I do my best in mine if I don't my feet go from shore to floor of boat.I hope people don't get to mad when I tell them shoes off! if they do they can stay on shore!

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

I didn't mind on my boat as long as they were not covered in dirt I always had towels covering my seats or sundeck if they were boarding. I just obeyed the rules of other peoples boats.

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

no, you don't mind if people wear there shoes on your boat :D

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

:eek:

Re: Shoes on boat or not?
 

no shoe's

No shoes stickers
 

We do you find these stickers?

Just have some made at a vinyl sign shop. They will be cheap and you can pick font and color to match the boat.

Good idea
 

I use a shop for my other sticker they could probably do it

Just bought a couple of pairs of the new sock absorbing Sperry's. Great for the back. I've worn boat shoes for so many years, and have never had any issues yet. Black soles, NOOOOOO..Keep your clogs and crocks and ugly all terrain knobbies away as well. Use some 303 on the seats, everything wipes off like nothing, and people don't fall either.

It's clear that most folks don't wear shoes... However, for the folks that don't wear shoes, what do you do in rough water or under way?

In all my boating years I've found it safer for me and my passengers to WEAR sneakers while I am running...

Also, walking up on the deck after a fresh waxing I found it much safer for my guests to wear sneakers... If the deck is dry, barefoot is fine...absolutely no socks allowed up there.

Regardless of my rules, I always ask others boaters what their preferences are before stepping foot in the vessel.

I agree

I agree with Thunder Roy!!!! a man that truely knows how to boat and a legend in Active Thunder history!!

With these guys that put dark carpet that gets hot and the grooved vnyle flooring that is uncomfortable. Take them off getting in and out and not on decks or engine hatches.
If someone loves carpet so much then get boarding mats.
Besides I believe you need the traction in rough water or support on long runs.
Like rub rails..boat shoes are what the name implies!!
But I do honor the owners wishes.
But while I'm on my soap box ..let me say it gives me fun entertainment to see people on the bow of the dark color painted decks in the summer time..ahh..the boating two-step!!
ouch! ouchee!! it phuckin' hot!!!!!!!!!!!:evilb:

We were on Beaver Lake in Ark and a pontoon fliped. GO figure, anyway we were at the dock and the fire rescue guys wanted a ride out, so I said SHOES off they said No problem, The the state police came up and wanted to ride also
I said NO SHOES he looked at me Pizzed like and said well I would have to write you a ticket anyway for the beer! So we pushed off and left him on the dock. SEE YA O yea DRY COUNTY if anybody else goes there.

Bare feet stickers found a websute
 

I saw that this post was brought back to life after being dead for a while. I just wanted to put my two cents in and offer a plug for a close friends company. We do not allow shoes on our but but I have just spent the last 18 months restoring her back to better than new. (28 Bertram Baron Project in classic offshore forum) There is another option and here is the link http://www.ozonesocks.com/yacht-saver-ankle-sock.html
We always keep a few pair onboard for our guests who don't want to be bare foot. Another benefit is they offer superb grip when walking on the deck. Just my opinion!

Beautiful Bertram!!!!!!

No kidding...wow!

Absolutely gorgeous Bertram! You don't mind if I walk all over it in my street shoes do you? No shoes on my boat. Bare feet only. If you are ever invited aboard someone's boat, pop off your shoes first. Even if they allow shoes the gesture will be appreciated.
